11890 graffiti on the streets!

eth0_

Anyone else notice the 11890 spray painted stencils on the footpaths around town today?

I saw nearly 10 of them walking up Barrow Street, Grand Canal street and Mount street! They look awful.

Who can I report this to? Very bad form on 11890's part!

I doubt it. They did it outside one newspaper office. desperate attempt for a few headlines I suspect.

I saw these the other day. Not sure if it counts as graffiti in the traditional sense though.....They make the message/ad by putting a stencil down on the pavement and hit it with a powerwasher. So actually they are cleaning the street!

I've seen it done before for Beck beer as well.

I've seen them and think they just used a stencil and a powerhose of some kind. I've seen this done before in Europe. It merely highlights the filth on our streets that the council doesn't bother to wash.

I hope they don't get into trouble for this, in fact I'd encourage them and other companies to put more of them down knowing that to remove them Dublin City council would have to clean to whole pavement. Result? Cleaner pavements, reduced smell of p*ss and animal excrement not to mention chewing gum removal (in fairness the smell of p*ss may not be down to the animals but more a result of people being drunk and lazy!!).

I've noticed that 11890 seem to be vigorously advertising at the moment across several mediums. They seem to have it in for 11850 who they've attacked on price in the papers last week. They also tried to broadcast a fairly amusing advert on RTE recently that got banned for being too aggressive to the competition (they kidnapped the 11850 joggers and sent them back to the UK! Their ad is still on their website www.11890.ie or if not try youtube).

In most countries stencils/stickers are termed grafitti. Which is a shame as they are much more pleasant than the boring people who write their name over and over again.
